Want to replace Windows Pirate Copy from my machine

[Ruben Macias]

I bought a computer that came with a pirate copy of
windows XP pro. Now I hve bought an original cd with
windows XP pro. I want to install it, but without having
to format or loosing my information of applications. Can
it be done?.

Thank you.

With Windows XP Pro you can perform a Repair
Installation using the new valid key and CD:
